China Texmatech, located in India, the overseas marketing subsidiary of China Hengtina Group (CHG) had sold machines at 20 percent lower prices than Indian manufacturers in July 2005.
But now, Chinese machinery is available between prices Rs2200 and Rs3500 per spindle, while Indian machines are pegged at from Rs2400 to Rs3200.
